The program closed with the “Gipsy’s Warn- ing,” in which Miss Lillie Porter and Miss DeMoss and Mr. J. H. Leonard took part. The sleighing carnival which took place yesterday attracted a large crowd to town, notwithstanding the extremely inclement weather, and the occasion was much en- joyed by all. Over fifty sleighs were in line when it left the Eagle House, the starting point, and a number of ludricrous and original contrivances followed the pro- cession, causing much amusement. The ones turned out by the establishments of W. H. Veitch and James W. Taylor, butch- ers, on this line were novel in their make- up. The procession moved off promptly, and proceeded first to West End, and then to the public school grounds, thence to East End, and back to Broad street, pass- ing the judges’ stand twice. The judges, Messrs. W. H. Nowlan, W. N. Lynch and A. A. Soule, then made the following awards, viz: First prize to Mr. Eustace C.

Church was chief marshal for*the occa- sion, and delivered the addresses in pre- senting the prizes. Your correspondent erred in reporting the death of Mr. F. A. C. Terret in Tues- day’s letter; it was the death of his wife which should have been reported. The in- formation of the death was given as ob- tained. During the program of the carnival yes- terday the horse of Mr. George Thorne be- came unmanageable and ran away, running over and,severely injuring Mrs. Chas. R. Herbert “of Alexandria. She was able however, to be removed to her home later in the day. —EE POST OFFICE STATIONS. New Names Given to the Vrrious Sta- tions in City and District.

Its Work Completed and the U. S. Commissioner Submits His Report. ‘The Samoan land court, appointed under the provisions of the treaty of Berlin, by the three signatory powers, to settle the complex questions affecting the titles to lands in Samoa, completed its work: on December 31. Mr. W. L. Chambers, the United States commissioner, has returned to this country end has submitted his individual report to the Secretary of State. ‘The work of the commission was of the most difficult nature, for there were titles in existence to land that in the aggregate amounted to 200,000 acres more than the whole area of the Samoan Islands. Some of these were native titles, some were held by German traders, some by English- men and a geod many by Americans. The general policy of the commission was to favor the natives wherever possible. The detailed statement of the results of the work of the commission is at present in Samoa, so it cannot be known here whether it is true, as reported in the German news- papers, that the result was to give to the Germans nearly all of the lands on the islands. This is doubted, however, in view of the fact that each country ‘had an equal representation upon the commis- sion, which was composed of W. L. Cham- bers for the United States, B. M. Haggard for Great Britain and T. Greiner for Ger- many. a FOR SUNDAY SALOONS. A Bill Introduced in the New York Legislata: _ Assemblyman Wilks of New York city has introduced a bill in the New York assembly which provides that the Sun- day-liquor-selling question be submitted to popular vote in cities of 50,000 or more inhabitants. It was drafted by John P. Smith, editor of the Wine and Spirits Gazette, who went to Albany to sound legislators about it. Mr. Smith said that, as Messrs. Saxton, Lexow, Fish, Robinson and Ainsworth had promised to support his bill, he thought it had a good chance of passing. Mr. Smith's bill contains three brief sec- tions. One provides that at the next gen- eral election voters shall have an oppor- tunity to cast their ballots for or against the sale of strong drink between the hours of 1 p.m. and 12 p.m. on Sunday. Another says that if the question is affirmed by a majority of the voters the succeeding legis- lature shall make laws to govern the new condition of affairs. The third section says that if the sale of liquor on Sunday, during the hours named, is at the expense of law, order and public decency the next legisla- ture shall take immediate steps looking to the holding of an election to repeal the law. soe —— Whitewayites Divided. No progress has been made in the formation of a Whiteway ministry in New Foundland. The party is divided in- to a series of factions, each of which is fighting for the lion's share of the spoils. Those men in office who want other posi- tions before resigning appear to be firm in their determination to extort considera- tion before vacating their seats. This con- duct is condemned unqualifiedly by the op- position newspapers because of its effect abroad. It is reported that the Whiteway- ites are ready to accept a royal commission as the only help that will extricate the colony from its present financial difficul- ties. FOR GENERAL ‘DEBILITY Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. Dr. It. D. Fairex, New Orleans, La., says: “I ve aliuost universally seen good effects produced it in diseases of the male organs of generation, ral debility and pulmenary diseases.’” “The numerous prosecutions in Pittsburg ané elsewhere in Pennsylvania of the offi- cers and agents of alleged fraudulent build- ing and loan associations have led to the subject of such corporations being made important in the present legislature,” said Henry R. Brown of Pittsburg at the Eb- bitt House last night. ‘There is no doubt that some measure will be passed which will prevent the public from being defraud- ed by dishonest companies of the character mentioned. One bill that ineets with much popular favor among those who invest their earnings in the schemes so abundant- ly presented was introduced by Mr. Cotton of our district. It provides among other things for the creation of a department to be known as the state savings association department, with a superintendent at its head, who ‘shall be required to supervise and examine the operations of all foreign and demestic building and loan associations doing business in Pennsylvania. Each of these corporations, uncer the bill, will be compelled to submit at the end of each fiscal year a detailed report of its business for the preceding twelve months, including all iabilities and assets, all items of ex- penditure, the shares in foree and those canceled, and a full description of all loans made and the character of the col- lateral held as security for such loans. There are many other stringent provisions in the bill that will eradicate fraud from the loan and building schemes so plentiful in Pennsylvania, and I feel pretty sure something of the sort will be passed in spite of the vigorous efforts being made by many of the companies interested to defeat such legislation.” “When traveling in South Carolina re- cently,” said Spencer F. Harrison of West Virginia at the Metropolitan yesterday, “I was very much entertained by a couple of young men who were training some game chickens to be fighters. I never knew that pine-bred roosters of the pug- nacious variety had to be taught anything about their warfare, but it seems that it is considered the proper thing to put them through their training just like prize fight- ers. Well, the young men would take two cocks and cover their spurs, those sharp, horny excrescences that grow on the in- side of male chickens’ legs, with little bags of soft wool that looked all the world like miniature boxing gloves. They called them muffs. Afier having their natural weapons thus guarded the chickens would be let loose in the stable and at each other they would go. They would fly and strike at each other until perfectly exhausted and would fall on their sides on the ground and lie there. In this condition each would keep his eyes fixed on the other and if one made a motion as if to rise the other would be sure to follow suit. I saw many contests of this sort and in none of them were the principals apparently injured in the least. The young men said they were giving their roosters staying power and wind preparatory to a real fight they vere going to participate in with fighters from a rival neighborhood. But they laughed me to scorn when'I asked if the better chicken could not always be decided upon in a fight where muffs would be used and the prutality lessened, if not done away with, as in scientific boxing matches with soft gloves, and it was evident they were like the old Romans, out for blood.” An old man who has been telling a good many people that he once ran a steamboat on the Mississippi river has been cruising around the down-town hotels for several days. Yesterday evening he heard a man reviling a bootblack for accidentally put- ting blacking on his patent leather shoe. “Don’t lose your temper, kunnel,” said the cap’n, gently. “Don’t lose your temper. I did that fool thing once and lost the foundation of a big fortune by it. It was like this: It was in 1855, and I was run- ning the Belle of Helena from Memphis to New Orleans. She was a mighty boat for speed, and she was pretty near the only side wheeler on the whole Missysip. There was a rival boat, though, named the Deb- orah Burr, and that year they sent her and had new bilers put in her, She was laying down at Big Bend landing when I saw her first after that, and when her cap’n see us coming he just backed out to the channel and tooted three or four times and started for New Orleans. “I made up my mind to catch her, andI made it up still more when Bill Bryant, the gambler, came to me and said if I beat the Deborah Burr to Natchez he'd give me $5,000. Yer, sir, that was his offer. I knew I had that money sure, but I just wanted to make old Carroll—he was the Burr's cap‘n—sick for the rest of his life; so I told the darkies to tote some turpentine we were carryirg as forward deck load down to the fire and throw her in. Well, sir, one nigger was sort o’ skeery about it and hung back; so I just caught him a back- handed blow under the jaw and knocked bim overboard. We were right up along- side of the Burr then, and about to pass her, when doggone if something didn't get the matter with our stabbud wheel. There was nothing to do but stcp and find out what was the matter. It broke my heart to see the Burr tearing cn down the river, and taking my $5,000 with her; but I soon discovered that it was all my fault. Yes, sir, it was. That miserable nigger I had knocked overboard had got caught in the paddles of that wheel and busted the whole business to pieces. I ain’t lost my temper since. Now, remember that experience nxt time you start to lose yours. Have you got any chawing tobacco?” “The appointment of receivers to take charge of the business of the whisky trust probably marks the beginning of the end of the last combined effort that will ever be made to control the manufacture of whisky in this country,” said A. J. Gregg of Peoria at the National yesterday. ‘‘The Distilling and Cattle Feeding Compan: which is the name of the trust, was or- ganized in JSS6 in Chicago, but its first annual meeting was held in Peoria in the spring of 1887. J. B. Greenhut, the man who has wrecked the concern through his mercenary attempt to get everything for himself by a manipulation of the stock, was elected president then, and has held the office ever since. At first most of the stock was held: in Peoria, but very little is around there now. There was no reason why the trust, with proper management, should have not controlled the whisky market just as the Standard Oil Company dictates the price of oil, but Greenhut and his intimates were hoggish, and wanted to become nabobs all of a sudden, so they be- gan to juggle with the stock until the stockholders grew_suspicious and demand- ed a settlement. What brought the pres- ent legal conditions about was the fact that the trust had to pay about $1,000,000 in rebates to purchasers of its liquor, who agreed to buy only of the trust in consid- eration of a return of a certain percentage upon each gallon bought after the lapse of a certain length of time. The trust had no money to pay these rebates, hence the receivership. Peoria people, who are ex- perts on whisky subjects, do not believe any other trust will ever be formed again to rule the market and ruin small dis- tillers who prefer to be independent of it.” “No matter how many disasters like that which overtook the Elbe happen ocean steamers will continue to run dangerous risks as long as fast time means heavy patronage,” said E. Lucas White of New York at La Normandie yesterday. “It !s simply appalling, the way in which they rush through storm and fog. We hear a great deal about their slowing down dur- ing suck weather, but slowing down don’t amount to much in reality when you come to examine. At full speed an ocean steamer goes between 20 and 25 nautical miles an hour. In a storm or a fog it goes about two-thirds of that speed. The mo- mentum of such # huge body propelled at such speed is sc great that all the revers- ing of propellers in the world can’t bring it to a stop within any small distance, and I saw this proved two years ago while crossing the Atluntic. A seaman fell over- board one morning and the thrilling warn- ing rang ou: J.fe preservers and one of the small life »afts was thrown overboard as soon as it could be grabbed up, and it struck the water a quarter cf a mile al- most from the man. The ship didn’t stop, in spite of an immediate use of every kind of brake it could possibly possess, for half a mile further. Luckily, the unfortunate man was a good swimmer, and reached the life raft, from which he was picked up by a small boat. It was an object lesson in the impossibility of the timely checking of the speed of an ocean steamer, when such a thing is necessary, that few of us who saw will probably ever forget.” “No, 1 do not believe there is any danger logne at the Metropolitan yesterday. ‘“In- deed, the creed or faith or political belief or whatever you mayall it, is greatly on the wane there, and fecerlt elections have shown a remarkable dropping off in the socialist vote. It is easy to account for the prevailing dissipafion df the disease in France. It is due to the fact that so many of the peasantry, among whom such a party must look for {ts chief support, are land owners themselyes. Something like 8,000,000 peasants in France own their small farms, and the.man who possesses something, you know, soon finds out that secialism will not do him any personal good, and selfishness ‘is thé basis of politi- cal opinion after all. The idea seems to be helding its own in Germany, however, and I have heard that the recent announce- ment of the new czar in favor of a contin- uation of pure and absolute autocracy is occasioning considerable excitement among Russian socialists, who become nihilists when they reach the art of making tombs and using them. I think in this country, where I was partly educated, you have more socialists than all of Europe put to- gether. All the great strikes you have over here are nothing more than eruptions frem a great volcano of socialism that un- derlies the surface of your system. The violence is different from ours only in the fact that it 1s the violence of the igaoraat and the hasty, who act upon the spur of the moment, while ours is the result cf cevetully thought out plans, matured long in advance of their actual operation. This sounds platitudinous, I am sure, but all your socialists reed is education and then the results will he terrible unless the au- thority of the government and the states stop temporizing with the element that will bring them about in order to get {ts votes for the parties that happen to be in power or want to get ther “I see there is a sentimental movement spreading among tender-hearted people in the east in favor of sending Geronimo and his band cf fellow murderers back to their cld stamping rounds cut west so they may pass their declining days amid the scenes cf their youth,” said Gregory Scott of Sarta Fe, at the St. James, yesterday. “If some of the people who are so charitably inclined had seen what I have seen they would not let their sympathy out to such hexrtless scoundrels, ro matter how bad @ predicament they might be in. Indeed, I believe they could stand by and approving- ly watch every one of them being burned alive over the slowest fire that could be kindled and kept up. What was it I saw? You couldn't publish one-tenth of it in ‘The Star. The whole story would appall your readers and make them throw down the paper and run away from it. No hu- man mind can conceive of the iniquities and cruelties practiced upon innocent and de- fenseless men, women and children by Geronimo and his band. What would you think of riding up to a friend’s ranche and finding his dead body, mutilated beyond power of words to describe; to find that of his wife even in a worse condition, and to see their baby hanging impaled on a hook upon which its poor little head had been pulled down with fiendish force. That’s only a small part of the horrible picture 1 saw,and I can't be blumed for feeling as I do when I hear of sickly sentimentality being poured out for the savages who created it. I am not one of those who does not believe in such a thing cs a good Indian, for I know lots of good Indians, but I never saw, and the man has never lived who ever saw, an Apache who was not a million times as bad as the worst fiend in perdition.” SS THE AMERIQUP I8 A‘ ‘TOTAL Loss. reat Passengers and AW the'!Crew Except One: Saved, A special cable dispatch to the New York World from Colon, Colombia, says: The steamship Ville’de Marseille has ar- rived from the scene of the wreck of the steamship Amerlque’ on ‘the Caribbean coast. eats She reports that the Amerique Is a total loss, being firmly imbedded in the sand.
